"Omar Ibn al-Khattab"
"Ali Ibn Abi Talib"
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar Allah Akbar
Allah Akbar!
"Episode 2"
We were only 30 men and women
- Thirty hearts overflowing with faith - "Khalid Ibn al-Walid's camp"
Thirty sharing one dream
Until Allah Almighty said...
"And warn, O Muhammad your closest kindred"
And the Messenger of Allah ordered us to proclaim Dawah
until we've achieved what we have today
Praise be to Allah
Praise Allah, for defeating the polytheists in Arabia
and made the people enter Islam in delegations upon delegations
Praise be to Allah
However...
our victory is bitter because of your calamity, Khalid
and the disparateness over the spoils of war
We are ready to sacrifice ourselves for Allah's sake, Aba Bakr
As for the spoils, it's easy to solve
Especially, that the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him has summoned them
to discuss this matter with them
Peace be upon him
What's with you, Aba Hafs?
I only fear for this nation to disobey the Messenger
Hence, Allah would break us up into sects
and make us fight one another
Instead of fighting our enemies in unity
Don't fear that, Aba Hafs
for I'm certain, Allah will rectify all of our deeds
Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you
Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you, Ali
Do you bring good tidings or bad omens, Aba al-Hassan?
- It's good tidings, Allah's will - Do tell
The Prophet peace be upon him had spoken to them
Peace be upon him
because of that they had a change of heart
Thus, he was able to change their minds and go back
while saying, "we accept the Messenger of Allah's ruling"
- Praise be to Allah - Praise be to Allah
Praise be to Allah
How are you doing tonight, Khalid?
I'm good, praise Allah
How is Abi Sufyan?
He's badly injured
I wanted to help him treat it
However, he rebuked me and said "do you help your father with such scratches?"
"Go take care of yourself"
That's Sakher Ibn Harb the experienced warrior
Yes, that's Abi Sufyan for you
Couldn't you join us, Mugheira...
- and leave the spoils of the Tulaqaa? - What did you say?
Nothing, Yazid Grant the Ansar a respite to calm down
And how did we upset them, Qays?
Do Abi Sufyan and his offspring embrace Islam yesterday
and get all these spoils today?
We didn't need any money in the Age of Ignorance
and we didn't embrace Islam for some petty cash
And now, we're sacrificing ourselves following Allah's Messenger orders
So, take care not to undermine us or you'll be disciplined
It's you who must be disciplined
Stop it, Yazid!
And you, don't talk any further
Leave him be, Yazid, leave him be
I swear, your words are more harsh than daggers
You have treated them unfairly
Didn't you see them risk their lives for Allah's sake?
All of us have fought for Allah's sake as we could
Why Abi Sufyan and his offspring would get 100 camels each?
They won the spoils while you won the company of Allah's Messenger
Praise be to Allah for your presence
That man was about to start a war between Muslims at the camp
I've come to tell you that the Prophet ordered us to advance to Taif
Get some rest
Ask Allah for forgiveness and seek His guidance
I ask Allah for His forgiveness
There is no god but Allah
Oh, what a misery!
What happened to your eye, Sakher?
It's a sacrifice for Allah's sake
We were about to enter Taif
but a treacherous arrow suddenly hit my eye
What's the good of having two sons if they couldn't protect you?
You can't prevent Allah's decree
As for Mu'awiya and Yazid
They fought bravely and won the appreciation of everyone
especially, Omar Ibn al-Khattab
Weren't enemies swords enough for you to hurt me, Hind?
I'm sorry, Sakher
You'll stay beautiful to me
with one eye...
or two
- Peace be upon you, Mu'awiya - And be upon you
I brought everything you've asked for
Here are the scrolls
They have everything you need about Ancient Byzantine Rulers
Where are the the pens, Ibn Qurrah?
- I got you only the best - Bless you
- Ridwan, carry those to the house - Okay
- How much? - 300 Dirhams
Yazid, would Um Habiba like it?
She would be content with a few dates
We'll take it
Kanud, here's the necklace I've mentioned to you yesterday
What a beautiful necklace How much is it?
I'm sorry, but the two gentlemen bought it for the Mother of Believers
I have another beautiful necklace for you
You two?
Those are Mu'awiya and Yazid our cousins
- Welcome - I'm Fakhita Bint Karada
and this is my sister, Kanud
Don't you remember us?
I know you pretty well
How could we forget our cousins?
We have heard about your deeds and courage in battle
We also were heart-broken over Abi Sufyan's injury
Is this to your liking?
It's very beautiful
How much?
580 Dirhams
Why is it so expensive?
It's inlaid with a rare stone from India
Thanks Aba Ayoub Let's go, Fakhita
Give our regards to the Mother of Believers
Were you hunting until now?
We weren't hunting for prey but for hearts
Add some water
Have you find a bride from Mecca for your brother?
- Ask him yourself - Mother...
- Do you know the Karada girls? - I know them very well
They're beautiful, well-mannered and from a good family
Which one? Kanud or Fakhita?
It's Kanud, Mother
Peace be upon you
I hope you aren't exhausted from the wedding
- May I ask you a question? - Of course
How you became infatuated this fast?
For a long time, I've been thinking of a certain woman
blacked-eyed...
blushful...
who has thin lips
and graceful
It takes my exhaustion away when she talks to me
She won't let me eat alone
Even if she didn't want to eat
she makes excuses for my children
if they made me mad
Do I look like her?
No, Kanud
you don't look like her
you are her
What's wrong?
Where's the water? I'm thirsty
- I'll beat you - Well done!
You are fighting just like knights
I've learned from a masterful knight
If I fought against a woman as beautiful as you in battle
I would let her kill me
What do you wish for before you die, Mu'awiya?
I wish only you
Thank Allah for your safety, sir
May Allah keep you healthy
Father?
- Peace be upon you - Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you
- Thank Allah for your safety - May Allah keep you healthy, son
Come
Don't you want to get some rest today to discuss things later?
I'm fine, my boy
How was your visit to the Prophet?
It was fruitful, thank Allah
You have to stay by his side
Stay by his side, why?
Mu'awiya
You are honored to be the scribe of the Revelation
What a great honor, Father
What a great honor
You should, my son...
to match the willingness to meet him
with awe of his dignified presence
Lower your voice
Don't you speak to him loudly as if you're speaking to others
for he's their leader
Lower your eyes
and look at him with humbleness and modesty
and don't you ever...
meet him before you know exactly what he needs
Don't you leave before you ask his permission
and don't finish your writing before you revise it
And know, my boy...
that your loss is larger than your gain
Come on
Prepare for travel scribe of the Prophet
"Madinah, the ninth year of Hijra"
Come on, make haste
Come on
You know what, Kanud?
I'm the luckiest man in the world
Madinah, will be a new start for us
Here, we'll be a step nearer to our dream
I know that you'd have preferred staying in Mecca, which you've known all your life
With your family
You are my family, Mu'awiya
I didn't mean that leaving my family wasn't difficult
But I'm willing to go with you to the farthest place possible
Until you achieve your goal
- Peace be upon you - Peace be upon you
Is this Zayd Ibn Thabit al-Ansari scribe of the Prophet's Revelation?
If I'm not mistaken, I'm talking to Mu'awiya Ibn Abi Sufyan
I've been told that your intuition is always right
and now I acknowledge that
Come in, please
Allah's Messenger sent me to get your advice before I start to scribe for him
Welcome to my humble dwelling Son of Quraysh's Leader
I come to you as Mu'awiya only
If I wanted to stay the son of Quraysh's Leader
I would have stayed in Mecca
Have a seat, please
I'm exhilarated to be among the scribes of Allah's Messenger
with a man who's grandfather has introduced writing to Arabia
I'm talking about your forefather Harb Ibn Umayya
Before reaching Madinah I heard about your intellect and wits, Zayd
for you're the Orphan Ansari
who was distinguished by the Prophet because of his brilliance
learned Hebrew in 15 days
and Syriac in 17 days
and took a place at the Prophet's Companions table even though he's young
and here you are talking about my father's leadership and my grandfather's favor
as if you're saying that you don't care about me without my forefathers
I didn't mean that, Mu'awiya
However, noble families give birth to great people
who will make their way afterwards
- Allah's Messenger peace upon him, said - Peace be upon him
"Those who were excellent in the Days of Ignorance are excellent in Islam"
"provided they acquire the knowledge and understanding of the religion"
I'm pleased for your presence Just because you're Mu'awiya
not because you're the son of Quraysh's Leader
My dream is intertwined with the dream of this nation
and my goal is the goal of this religion which rises above the world
Which dream of the nation has become your dream, O Mu'awiya?
I see a kingdom for Islam that will unite the people under one banner
without differentiating between an Arab and a Non-Arab
and bestow its might over the East and West
and have a kingdom that exceeds Alexander's Kingdom
Alexander the Great?
He was a great king among his people, whereas us...
we were scattered not long before with no common goal
Look, how our armies roam the East and the West?
I thought you were dreaming of a new house for us in Madinah
but it turned out, you're dreaming of the East and the West
Kanud, are you alright?
Peace be upon you
God bless
I'll call her Ramla
after Um Habiba
That's a wonderful name, Mu'awiya
Do you see how beautiful she is?
I'm never tired of looking at her face
She's beautiful just like her mother
Hello, Juwairiyah
Welcome, cousin Othman
Thank you
God bless God bless
Allah Akbar Allah Akbar
I testify that there's no god but Allah
I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
Mu'awiya
How are you this morning?
I wish I spent my life with you, Mu'awiya
I implore you
You have a fever and it'll go away don't say such a thing
Kanud
You'll stay in my heart forever
"The eleventh year of Hijra"
We were hoping...
that Allah's Messenger would get well and lead us in our prayer
but as his sickness gotten worse
and as we ask Allah to cure him
He has ordered me to lead you in prayer today
So, stand side by side may Allah bless you
Allah Akbar!
Allah Akbar
This is the first time that someone other than the Messenger
to lead us in prayer in his presence
I hope Allah will not afflict us with the passing of His Prophet
I swear, I don't bear thinking of...
Look at the Madinah
It looks so empty since the Prophet's sickness
Look at the people's faces, Zayd
filled with anguish and concern
I'd sacrifice myself to you Messenger of Allah
I was so close to the Prophet until I forgot parting with my family
and condole me for the death of my wife, Kanud
and the absence of my only daughter, Ramla
A look at the Prophet's face would let me forget all about my concerns
And now what, Zayd?
There's nothing we could do but pray, Mu'awiya
We are late for Allah's Messenger mosque peace be upon him
I wish for his well-being, Aba Issa
All Muslims are wishing for the same thing
Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you
- Peace be upon you - Peace be upon you
I hope it's not what we fear Ibn Abi Sufyan
Allah's Messenger is moribund
and everyone in Madinah...
are waiting in his mosque and around his home
O people...
Whoever used to worship Muhammad...
Muhammad is dead
and whoever worships Allah...
Allah is living and does not die
"Muhammad is not but a messenger"
"Other messengers have passed away before him"
"So if he was to die or be killed"
"would you turn back on your heels to unbelief?"
"And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all"
"but Allah will reward the grateful"
To Allah we belong and to Him we will return
Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you
Ramla misses her father
and I missed you so mush little girl Come in, please
Ramla, couldn't travel with me while leaving Fakhita alone
She loves her as if she were her mother
I hope she didn't trouble you
The only trouble I have is being away from her
God bless you, Fakhita
Ramla, my little girl
- I'll go fetch her some food - Leave that to me
How are you, brother?
You look quite pale
I've become alright upon seeing Ramla
How long will Ramla stay away from her father?
Soon, she'll stay with me in Madinah after I settle down
And how you'll raise her on your own?
You have a business to take care of and who knows what might happen?
You might leave for conquest
I have things to do and our mother is getting older
You should marry, Mu'awiya
I know how much you loved Kanud
but you have to marry for your daughter and for yourself, brother
and I think Fakhita is the best
She's Ramla's auntie who loves her dearly
She likes you very much
After the passing of Allah's Messenger peace be upon him
I've intended on doing something
However, fighting the apostates distracted me
I'm talking about protecting the Muslims and their territories
After Allah spared us the apostates
with the efforts and money you exerted for Allah's sake
I think we must return to this subject
I think that we should send our troops to stay on the front lines and defend it
We should start planning to overthrow Persia and Byzantine
We have a window of opportunity
especially that the wars between them has exhausted them
and taking the fight to their territory
is better for us than fighting them in our territories
That's why I think that we should attack them
to take down their fortresses and overthrow them
If you allow me to speak even though I'm your youngest
I think that if we wanted to conquer them
Muslim troops should be trained under different conditions
Because Muslims are used to fighting in the vast desert
and aren't used to fighting in other areas like swamps and rivers
As you know, Persia and Byzantine are different than where we used to fighting
and we should be wary of fighting in a wasteland we know nothing about
So, if we are bent on conquer
we should send a number of advancing troops
to inform us of their conditions their number and their land
I'll order Khalid Ibn al-Walid...
to prepare and train the troops
and when he's done
we'll send units to reconnoiter their conditions
I believe this is part of the preparation we were ordered to do
You are walking pretty fast
I carry your banner and I don't want to miss fighting the Byzantines
I know that you stride bravely toward war but I thought that you won't leave Fakhita
Don't worry
Juwairiyah has written to us saying that she's coming from Mecca to Madinah
and she and Sumayya will be by Fakhita's side when she delivers her baby
